How satisfied are you with existing methods to play sports? (self.Blind)
submitted by TarsytheTarsier
Hello r/Blind,
I posted here about a month ago asking how everyone felt about sports while blind. As the robotics team has advanced our innovation, we realized that we would probably need some data in order to justify our reasons for taking on the project. My team would love to hear your opinions on how you feel about existing methods to play sports.

To be honest. I don't care about sports at all. I workout at home with weights, and I prefer treadmills over running outside. I've only ever gotten hurt while playing sports as a kid and I don't get the appeal of throwing balls around a field.
I'm sure there are people who are blind that love sports, but I've never met one.

I think that is what I am getting at with this poll. Would you play sports if there were more/easier options?

Probably not. But I was born with legal blindness so I guess it never made sense to me. Probably formerly sighted might though

I would play sports but they must be real sports not blind sports. Blind sports are not sports. I will play Baseball with some adaptations but it must be regular Baseball. Same with Basketball. I've done rowing and Wrestling and they are both fun. I've also learned Karate but the self-defense kind and not the sports kind.

That's fine. My team just wanted to get a sense of as many people as possible, so your answer is very appreciated :)
